What's next?

[NokmoTrue]

Been doing mornings at the same station, classic rock, since we were playing big, black vinyl on turntables.

It was cute when I was in my 20's.

Now? Same old schtick, though it's working still, big numbers and all and getting paid for what I used to get detention for in high school, but getting tired of it. Not radio, just tired of pretending that I give a s _ _ t about hearing "Turn the Page" for the one billionth time, plus the goofy stuff that's better left to interns and StuntBoys.

Thinking of course, talk has to be next.

Anyone in this boat with me? Or have any suggestions? I'm thinking of bailing out altogether but I know a real job will be quite a shock to my system.

So, thoughts, suggestions, advice, derisive comments, just curious to see how this may have played out or is playing out for some of you now.

Thanks,
NokmoTrue

If you're happy with the facts:

You have a job in radio.

People you work with RESPECT what you do.

The Company you work for RESPECTS you and pays you well.

If not then maybe a move is warranted. It all depends on whether you think a move would better your career, make you happier or maybe you think you'd just be happier BUT, be careful about moves like that.

If you answered yes to the facts then what's to complain about?. You want more money, then find a way to make it there, if not, move on. Most people get burnt out on their jobs but jumping ship could cause you headaches because if you're working for a company that takes good care of you, you'll be in for a shock when you leave that and get devoured by the others. It all depends on what you want and if what you want is really in the field you're in.

I got out because I saw the Tsunami of stupidity coming. I don't have the patience for people who have no knowledge of a field that they're MANAGING.

All I can say is best of luck to you, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
